The Galaxy S24 and the Honor Magic 6 Pro share the same cutting-edge UFS storage module

Another hour, another innovation announced during the MWC (Mobile World Congress) underway in Barcelona (Spain)!

Now, Micron (you may have purchased one or two of their products, as they sell SSDs and M.2 drives under the Crucial brand) is taking UFS 4.0 storage to the next level (via Android Center).

At MWC, Micron announced a new version of its UFS 4.0 storage module that uses 232-layer 3D NAND. The highlight is that the module measures just 9 x 13 millimeters, making it one of the smallest to date. These new storage modules will surely come in handy, given the value of space available in smartphones.

Notably, Micron's UFS 4.0 storage module, along with its LPDDR5X RAM, has been selected for use in the Galaxy S24 series and Honor Magic 6 Pro.

Micron's UFS 4.0 module sets a new standard for AI-ready smartphones, delivering remarkable speeds of up to 4,300 MB/s for sequential reads and 4,000 MB/s for sequential writes, placing it among the fastest available. More importantly, it demonstrates over 30% improvement in random read and write operations compared to its predecessor UFS 3.1.

And, as you know, both Galaxy S24 and the just-announced Magic 6 Pro are heavy on the AI ​​side.

The module also offers innovative custom options aimed at improving performance. High-performance mode, for example, increases speed up to 25% compared to UFS 3.1 modules with 176-layer NAND under intense workloads. Additionally, the One Button Refresh feature automatically optimizes data at regular intervals to maintain optimal device performance without manual intervention. Meanwhile, the Zoned UFS feature intelligently allocates specific storage areas for different types of data, such as photos and documents, improving organization and access speed.

Micron offers these UFS 4.0 storage modules in multiple capacities, including 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB, meeting a wide range of storage needs and preferences.
